Meet Your Farmers: Judy

Judy has been living in Sunnyside with her dog, Hailey, for the last 5 years. She joined Heirloom Gardens to help her diet become more local, healthy, and economic. She loves gardening, but enjoys it more when she can work with a group. Judy enjoys cooking, but keeps things simple. Lately she's been cooking lots of tofu and greens because of all the spring veggies she's receiving in her share. Judy just returned from a trip to L.A., where she got to visit her new nephew for the first time. She also enjoys hiking with Hailey, riding her mountain bike, and working on her home remodeling project.
